You know what else is unbelievable....the fact that the islamists/terrorists use to teach jihadi recruits that the US media is a propaganda tool of the Bush administration and the 'evil' Zionists...lol! OBL now has a subscription delivered to his cave everyday and takes his 'talking points' straight from their pages!

[goodnesswins]

Yeah....me thinks the NYTIMES doth protest too much....those Senators will be TALKING....about whom they talked to....

Mention boycotting their advertisers - we'll start with the biggies, Fortunoff, Tiffany. IMO, it is way overdue. And why? Just because we can!

A Must Read:

Unholy Alliance :
Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)
by David Horowitz

**************************************

Vastly Illuminating, September 25, 2004

Reviewer:

Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews

I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.

I direct the editorial board of the NY Times attention to the gaping hole in Lower Manhatten....Jesus wept.

These goofballs....I'm SPEECHLESS. Don't they realize that they're NOT HELPING???????

"President Bush defended the program yesterday, saying it was saving lives...But we have learned the hard way that Mr. Bush's team cannot be trusted to find the boundaries of the law, much less respect them."

English translation: "We don't know, and don't care if any lives have been saved by this measure. We don't know, and don't care, if this measure is legal or not: we want it stopped, and will use all our influence to that end".

...this White House has cried wolf so many times on the urgency of national security threats that it has lost all credibility. But we have learned the hard way that Mr. Bush's team cannot be trusted...

That's funny, when I read about entities that have misled people with phony stories full of manufactured "facts" so many times that they have lost all credibility, I assume we're talking about the NY Times. Or have they forgotten their own journalistic scandals so soon? Frankly, if Bush hadn't personally confirmed the wiretap story, I never would've believed it because it came from the NY Times. So obviously, Bush has more credibility than they do.

The NT Times rag, the nation's mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. National security be d@mned!

I am glad you agree.

""Mr. Bush said he would not retract his secret directive or halt the illegal spying, so Congress should find a way to force him to do it."

No media bias here. The N.Y. Times, being prosecutor, judge and jury, have determined and declared the spying was 'illegal'.

Right about now President Bush must be wondering exactly what to do about the American media. They have become every bit as dangerous to America as the Islamofacists who are trying to destroy us are.

This article from the N.Y. Times announces, loud and clear, that the American media are in the mood for an open, decisive battle against all that is left of goodness. They can no longer contain their malevolence, and have now declared all-out, open war against President Bush, the truth, conservatives and Christian America. Where they once tried to veil their personal political bias and hatred for conservatives they now openly and shamelessly reveal it. Only the truly blind will not be able to see the media bias and their anti-America agenda now.

"I'm sure Osama is laughing his ass off somewhere reading the Times today ."

Osamma bin Laden and al Zarqawi have a good friend and a powerful ally in the NY Times, and they know it.

How can it be a secret order when members of Congress were briefed, and the legal counsels of the NSA, FBI, CIA, and DOJ were consulted before hand?

It's all Clintonesque semantics. If 'The Times' says it's a 'secret' order, well, then, it must be. They just have a different definition of 'secret'.

NYT calls for jihad in America.

The libs now appear to be aiming at their feet with high-powered weapons and twitchy trigger fingers. It's only a matter of time now....MTF.

Sure sounds illegal to me. Whether it is or not may be a matter for lawyers. I'm listening..

Shouldn't we be spying on Americans that are assisting Al Queda?
